You are delusional if you think ISP's will just lay down and take it when every one of their subscribers becomes a video CDN.

- zb1plus 3y agoISPs got a ton of free money from the government to set up internet infrastructure and have been milking taxpayer money without improving access significantly or reducing costs. They can accept it or get nationalized imo
- NohatCoder 3y agoThey might complain, because that is what ISPs do, but they won't necessarily be that bad off. Popular content can be mostly circulated within their own network, saving peering bandwidth. This will be somewhat offset by less popular content that generates a bit extra outgoing traffic. The scale of YouTube would make the advantage much more pronounced than it has ever been for torrents.
